Physical Medical Impairments
If you’re seeking Social Security Disability benefits due to a disability, there are some important things you need to know. The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines a disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to last longer than one year or result in death.
If you or someone you love is dealing with a physical disability and is unable to work or make a livable wage, contact our Social Security law firm in Chicago. We have several offices located in the Chicagoland area and want to help you get the benefits you need and deserve.
What Physical Impairments Qualify for Benefits?
If you’re wondering ‘can I get disability for Hepatitis C’ or ‘how to get disability for chronic pain,’ the SSA has a qualifying list of impairments to determine whether you can receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Medical evidence and a diagnosis from a medical professional for your physical impairment are necessary steps for your benefits to be approved by the SSA.
If you’re asking, “What diseases are eligible for disability?” you can find a list of the Blue Book categories below:
- Cardiovascular System
- Congenital Disorders that Affect Multiple Body Systems
- Cancer (Malignant Neoplastic Diseases)
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Special Senses and Speech
- Digestive Disorders
- Respiratory Disorders
- Genitourinary Disorders
- Skin Disorders
- Endocrine Disorders
- Neurological Disorders
- Immune System Disorders
- Hematological Disorders
- Mental Disorders
